Diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings have excellent properties such as high wear resistance, very low friction coefficient, and high corrosion resistance. Because of these excellent properties, DLC ...

Diamond-like carbon (DLC) films and coatings are a unique class of amorphous carbon materials that combine properties reminiscent of both diamond and graphite. With a high fraction of sp³-bonded ...

Low-friction, low-wear and anti-adhesion properties are the highly desirable characteristics of these coatings, which include diamond-like carbon (DLC) coatings as well as nanostructured metal ...

Mechanical components usually fail from the outside in, with failures starting on the surface eventually affecting the entire component. Examples include wear (abrasion, galling, and erosion), ...
